I exclusively use Firefox nowadays, especially for web development.
I have pocket and remote fonts disabled in about:config, strict blocking enabled, smooth scrolling disabled, and every permission blocked. I also disabled DoH and DRM content support.
I have duckduckgo as main search engine, and Mankier as search engine triggered by the man keyword.
I use the calm pastel 4 theme, with the HeadingLinker (I made), ublock origin and umatrix extensions, disabling js by default.

TBF, not a lot of time, mainly because almost every website I used to regularly visit didn't use javascript (mainly small blogs and websites with good degraded design).
I only have javascript allowed for a bunch of websites, citing gitlab, github, tildes, and some websites from my workplace.

I've been running Web for the past few days to test and find bugs. I also really like the touch gestures, tab switching being much faster, window resizing performance and some other little things that make it feel pretty good. Other than that, it's a below average when it comes to performance even if it's improved recently.
Other than that, I run Firefox with a Gnome UserChrome.CSS with uBlock Origin and some tweaks in about:config to allow different stylesheets, remove pocket and screenshot. I now use it mostly as a backup.
I consider myself to be pretty easy to please when it comes to browsers.

I use Firefox basically until it breaks something. I'll link to the less obvious extensions, they do good work.
I use the Bitwarden extension, frankly more than the app, as it's the password safe I've decided to use: Open source client and back end, trusted by many security professionals, and works really well on all platforms I use (Windows, Linux, Android).
Bypass Paywalls. Does what it says on the tin. I don't have the money to subscribe to every news outlet for the occasional article, so I use this baby to get to the news.
uBlock Origin. I tried using uMatrix, but that got crazy, but I like the license on this one, and the fact that it does everything cross-platform well. It seems to break on some porn sites on Firefox for Android, but only for popunder tabs that may be a disguised link that serves the add and forwards the page to a new tab.
User-Agent Switcher, if I need to bypass a user-agent check for school and I'm too lazy to boot back into Windows, or I need to download a Linux tarball from a trickier site for some weird reason.
Firefox's Facebook Container. Idk why, it just seems like a cool idea.

I've been using Brave lately with uBlock Origin as a fallback for ad-blocking, Dark Reader and my password manager. I like the sense of privacy and protection (also has built in HTTP Everywhere) in Brave and I fire up Chrome when I need to see if its Brave that's blocking some content on a site or my Pi-hole.

At the moment I've been using Brave. Alongside UBlock Origin, UBlock Origin Extra, Dark Reader, and Just Read. More minor extensions are Augmented Steam, BetterTTV, Improve Youtube, and RES. Also use Tampermonkey and a variety of scripts to improve various websites.
Considered switching over to Firefox, but currently I use Firefox as my "Private" browser for stuff I don't want showing up in normal browsing history. And feel like I would have to use Firefox Profiles for it to separate the way I want, but the last time I tried using Firefox Profiles it just kinda broke everything and forced me to reinstall.
At one point I had a completely custom ultra-minimalist, "one line" UserChrome.css for Firefox that I made myself... but a bunch of changes Mozilla made eventually completely broke it. :( One day...
One day I may build up the motivation to fix my ultra-minimalist scheme, but for now I am just running vanilla themed Firefox again for everyday browsing (with a ton of addons still though), alongside FF Developer Edition for when I need the more advanced dev tools.

I run vanilla Chrome. I turned off ad blocking years ago because I wanted to see what the default experience was like and Chrome was supposed to have some kind of built-in ad blocking soon. But, that seems to not to have silently not launched? I suppose I should turn it on again.
I would be pretty glad if Chrome never did ad blocking personally. It's clear it would have a clear bias against google's since it's their bread and butter.

I'm confident that it would be formally neutral. However, Google is probably less aggressive about ads tactics, and they have more data collected legitimately, so they would benefit.

Well, sure, Formally so but internally, it's doubtful they'd do that. Chromium-based browsers would get the same blocking rules unless changed specifically so it would risk more than it'd gain imo.

I remember there was a lot of anticipation for that feature to arrive, and a lot of silence afterwards. Searching for "Chrome native ad block" just now, I found a whole bunch of articles from late 2017 that the feature would arrive in february 2018, but not a single article from after the fact. It is indeed a bit odd.

I use the version of Firefox that ships with my distribution (on Fedora 32 beta currently). Like others, I have Pocket (and possibly other things) disabled in about:config. Because I do not use history, bookmarks, etc. I make sure that Firefox does not store any such data. I use the PrivacyTools.io instance of Searx as my default search engine. I prefer to store neat things I find online outside of my web browser and use the browser strictly as a means to view webpages.
Add-ons include:
Bitwarden
NoScript
uMatrix
uBlock Origin
HTTPS Everywhere
Privacy Badger
Decentraleyes
Cookie AutoDelete
It's possibly a bit much and certainly a bit redundant.

Chromium with
ublock
privacy badger
Don't fuck with paste - re-enables copy/paste of forms that try to disable it
Recipe Filter - opens recipes in a modal so you don't have to scroll past the life stories
Google Search "View Image" button - brings back the ability to click straight through to the image
Video Speed Controller - Fine gained speed controls on video for many sites.
TheCamelizer - Historical pricing data on amazon product pages
RefinedGithub - QoL improvements for Github (e.g., auto delete branch when merging, mark file as viewed when reveiwing and a LOT more)
Vue DevTools - Amazing devtools extension that allows you to inspect components, events, Vuex state & mutation history, and more.

I use Chrome with not that many plugins.
uBlock Origin - I turn off on a lot of sites. Ad views keep the lights on for most websites. I only use it when sites get obnoxious or when I'm delighted by 0% blocked (it's on on Tildes!)
Typio form recovery - I use this to prevent myself from losing things I've typed into text boxes
1Password - Password manager plugin
The Great Suspender - suspends tabs when they're not being used. I use this a lot since I have 6 or 7 windows of Chrome open, and a dozen+ tabs on each
Moderator Toolbox (Reddit) - as a mod, a must have
The Camelizer - for shopping, mostly on Amazon, gives a historical price model for each thing I look at.

Tildes Extended was made by @Crius, but he is no longer active on the site and so his extension hasn't been updated in 11 months (notice who made all the latest updates to it?). So because of that, @Bauke decided to develop Tildes ReExtended, which is a new extension based on the ideas of the previous one. There isn't really too many difference between them at present, other than a few minor tweaks and the markdown toolbar on ReExtended (which is super handy). However besides features, the biggest difference between them is that ReExtended is still being maintained and continues to be further developed, whereas Extended is not, has stagnated in terms of features, and may break eventually.

Holy shit, @crius!! I'm glad to know you're still alive and kicking. What have you been up to all this time? I hope everything is well for you!
p.s. No worries about the extension. It's totally understandable. Life happens and I try to never look a gift horse in the mouth. :)

Eh, nothing outstanding really. "Life" as we tend to say. Kids becoming teenagers, career going ahead, a worldwide pandemic, brexit... usual stuff.
I don't know what is going on with Tildes ReExtended. If @Bauke is still around I'll try and check with him, otherwise I might continue on the original project by checking the open issues ;)
Working from home has its advantages (like 3 hours extra every day thanks to not commuting).
I would have loved working directly on Tildes source but last time I checked it was using a stack I don't really know (php/node/angular (not js)/vue here).

Hah, "usual stuff"... yeah when you put it like that, it certainly highlights how strange the last couple of years has been. I'm glad to know you and your family are doing okay amidst all this craziness though!
And yeah, working from home is great. I have been doing that for about the last 10 years now, and it's just too good/convenient. So good, that I honestly don't think I could ever go back to working in an office, especially not one with a long commute. Nooooo thanks! :P
Also, @Bauke is definitely still around. We still chat with each other almost every day in Keybase. :)

Cent Browser, a fork of Chromium, powerful in terms of a bunch of small features that make life easier for someone like me. For one thing, it allows you to save pictures simply by Alt+Clicking them. It's one of the brilliant features that makes me hesitate leaving Cent Browser for something better.
If I could personally replicate that and other features in, say, Firefox, I might give it a shot again.
